Om Reiret

Reiret(the nest) is a small hut used the by the Norwegian resistance during World War 2. In 1944 the hut was the resistance's headquarter in the Gudbrandsdalen valley. It was important that it could not be found by the Germans and even today you can stand on the roof of the hut without realizing it is there.

About 4 km north of the city Otta you will find a road on your right-hand side when going northwards with a white sign to Kvitskruiprestene and Reiret. Continue straight on this road for about 1 km and take the road on your left-hand side before the toll booth. Go on for about 5.5 km and park along the road where the sign to Reiret shows you the trailhead.
